15 year olds Jordan and Key from Everett limited on Perch fishing at eh mouth of Frenchman’s Wasteway.
It's hard to believe but the already great fishing on Potholes Reservoir will just be getting better. The perch fishing at the State Park and off the MarDon Dock has been great.
Don't forget you can go in the Dunes and fish beaver huts and weed piles for Perch, Bluebill, and bass all at the same time. Beetle Spins, Senkos and Crankbaits will catch all these species with the occasional catfish or walleye.
Goose Island is also a great place to mulit-species fish. I fished 10 to 22 feet of water Monday and got 6 nice walleye and a bunch of small mouth bass and perch. Slow Death Rig's, and Silver Smile Blades do the trick too. This is also a good place for a # 5 and # 7 shad-raps trolling at 2 miles per hour.
If you want the big trout (2 to 6 lbs) the State Park area seems to be doing better than Medicare Beach.
Also the outflow at the east end of the dam has been putting out trout.
Troll deep 20 to 30 feet as the sun gets higher and keep your drag light. As the summer heat continues the fishing will only improve.

The fishing in the Potholes Recreation Area this October has been just as good as we thought it would be. We experienced some rapidly cooling weather which rapidly cooled the water temperatures and really turns on the fall bite. The walleye fishers are producing limits almost daily.

As Potholes Reservoir cools with incoming fall weather the fishing for all species will only get better. The bass guys are having a ball with largemouth bass at the face of the dunes. Smallmouth bass are most catchable at the rock piles in the main lake between Goose Island and O'Sullivan Dam. Potholes are now at the low water status typical for this time of year. Cover is harder for fish to locate for sanctuary. (Now is when the underwater habitat restoration project is the most valuable, cwfac.org).
